THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE PICTURES AND COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE WHITE STAR IS PURE WHITE ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE ON BOTH SIDES BEING UNRUBBED. THERE ARE JUST6 -7 TINY SPIDER LINES NEAR THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THE LP HAS BEEN PLAYED.

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE WISPY HAIRLINES AND FEW ULTRA FINE HANDLING LINES VISIBLE.

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST PURE FIRST PRESS. IT IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A STUNNING AUDIO PERFORMANCE FROM THE VINYL.

NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT SHOWING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS LP HAS EVER RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND JUST SOME BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC, HEARD ONLY PERHAPS IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT!!!

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

A VERY DELICATE AND HARD TO FIND PRISTINE SLEEVE, AND THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT IT WAS MADE IN EXACTLY THE SAME MANNER AS THE WHO'S QUADROPHENIA. THAT IS A VERY SOFT DELUXE CARD OUTER SURFACE AND A VERY HEAVY LARGE BOOK STAPLED INTO THE SOFT SPINE.IN FACT IT WAS MADE BY THE SAME DUTCH COMPANY THAT MADE THE SLEEVE FOR THE WHO, (EUROALBUMS OF HOLLAND BV) SO REALLY ITS NO SURPRISE

THIS USUALLY RESULTS IN DAMAGE TO THE SOFT OUTER SKIN OF THE FRONT OR BACK SURFACE, AND A BOOK WHICH DUE TO IT'S OWN WEIGHT AND POORLY FIXED STYLE HAS COMPLETELY COME WAY FROM THE SPINE. THIS SLEEVE HOWEVER IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE!! READ ON....

THE FRONT SURFACE OF THE SLEEVE IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. NO HEAVY CREASES, NO LIGHT CREASES, NO CREASE LINES, NO BENDS AND DEFINITELY NO LOSS TO THE COLOURS WHATSOEVER. NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, AND JUST ONE TINY LINE NEAR THE SPINE. THERE ARE NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGE, EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE SPINE.A SUPERB LOOKING 1ST ISSUE SLEEVE

THE TOP EDGE IS JUST MINT. ALL OF THE DELICATE AND EASILY RUBBED COLOUR IS STILL THERE RUNNING FULLY FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS HAVE REMAINED UNBLEMISHED.

THE BOTTOM EDGE WHICH IS USUALLY RUBBED THROUGH TO THE CARD, IS IN SUPERB CONDITION STILL. THERE ARE WHITE FLECKS RUNNING ALONG THE BLUE SURFACE BUT THE EDGES ARE STILL VERY BLUE. THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ALSO HAS SOME LIGHT RUBBING

THE SPINE IS PRISTINE, AS NEW WITH ALL OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THIS IS VERY RARE AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED THIS CARD IS SO SOFT AND DELICATE, AND MOST I HAVE SEEN HAVE BEEN VERY BADLY WORN. NOT THIS ONE JUST A MINUSCULE BIT OF RUBBING AT THE VERY BOTTOM TIP

THE STAPLE IS PERFECTLY AFFIXED AND HASN'T RUSTED EITHER

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PUT TOGETHER. IT CLEAR THAT THIS LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. ACTUALLY THERE ARE ZERO LINES AGAINST THE SPINE OR ANY OF THE OTHER EDGES FOR THAT MATTER.

THIS IS THE BEST EXAMPLE I HAVE SEEN OF THIS SLEEVE WITHOUT A DOUBT

IT IS ALSO WORTH POINTING AGAIN OUT THERE IS NO RING WEAR JUST A SLIGHT TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE ON THE REAR SURFACE IF YOU ANGLE THE SLEEVE INTO THE LIGHT, AND THEN THATS ONLY AT THE VERY TOP

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS THE PRISTINE INNER PANELS, AND THE LARGE 24 PAGE BOOK (NEARLY THE SAME SIZE AS THE SLEEVE) WHICH IS IN MINT CONDITION

THE ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUE APPLE RECORDINGS PLAIN WHITE SLEEVE IS IN ORIGINAL UNSPLIT CONDITION, FLAT AND CREASE FREE, JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT WRINKLES

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
